FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present application relates to crystalline solid forms of2,2,4-trimethyl-8-(6-methyl-7-oxo-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-4-yl)-6-(methylsulfonyl)-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-3(4H)-one,which is an inhibitor of BET proteins such as BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, andBRD-t, including methods of preparation thereof, and intermediates inthe preparation thereof, where the compound is useful in the treatmentof diseases such as cancer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The genomes of eukaryotic organisms are highly organized within thenucleus of the cell. DNA is packaged into chromatin by wrapping around acore of histone proteins to form a nucleosome. These nucleosomes arefurther compacted by aggregation and folding to form a highly condensedchromatin structure. A range of different states of condensation arepossible, and the tightness of this structure varies during the cellcycle, being most compact during the process of cell division. Chromatinstructure plays a critical role in regulating gene transcription byregulating protein access to the DNA. The chromatin structure iscontrolled by a series of post translational modifications to histoneproteins, mainly within the tails of histones H3 and H4 that extendbeyond the core nucleosome structure. These reversible modificationsinclude acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination andSUMOylation. These epigenetic marks are written and erased by specificenzymes that modify specific residues within the histone tail, therebyforming an epigenetic code. Other nuclear proteins bind to these marksand effect outputs specified by this information through the regulationof chromatin structure and gene transcription. Increasing evidence linksgenetic changes to genes encoding epigenetic modifiers and regulatorsleading to aberrant histone marks in diseases such as neurodegenerativedisorders, metabolic diseases, inflammation and cancer.

Histone acetylation is typically associated with the activation of genetranscription, as the modification weakens the interaction between theDNA and the histone proteins, permitting greater access to DNA by thetranscriptional machinery. Specific proteins bind to acetylated lysineresidues within histones to “read” the epigenetic code. A highlyconserved protein module called the bromodomain binds to acetylatedlysine residues on histone and other proteins. There are more than 60bromodomain-containing proteins in the human genome.

The BET (Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal) family of bromodomaincontaining proteins comprises 4 proteins (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRD-t)that share a conserved structural organization containing tandemN-terminal bromodomains capable of binding to acetylated lysine residuesof histones and other proteins. BRD2, BRD3 and BRD4 are ubiquitouslyexpressed while BRDt is restricted to germ cells. BRD proteins playessential, but non-overlapping roles in regulating gene transcriptionand controlling cell growth. BET proteins are associated with largeprotein complexes including Mediator, PAFc and super elongation complexthat regulate many aspects of gene transcription. BRD2 and BRD4 proteinshave been shown to remain in complex with chromosomes during mitosis andare required to promote transcription of critical genes including cyclinD and c-Myc that initiate the cell cycle (Mochizuki J Biol. Chem. 2008283:9040-9048). BRD4 is essential for recruiting the proteintranslational elongation factor B complex to the promoters of induciblegenes resulting in the phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II andstimulating productive gene transcription and elongation (Jang et al.Mol. Cell 2005 19:523-534). In some instances, a kinase activity of BRD4may directly phosphorylate and activate RNA polymerase II (Devaiah etal. PNAS 2012 109:6927-6932). Cells lacking BRD4 show impairedprogression through cell cycle. BRD2 and BRD3 are reported to associatewith histones along actively transcribed genes and may be involved infacilitating transcriptional elongation (Leroy et al, Mol. Cell. 200830:51-60). In addition to acetylated histones, BET proteins have beenshown to bind selectively to acetylated transcription factors includingthe RelA subunit of NF-kB and GATA1 thereby directly regulating thetranscriptional activity of these proteins to control expression ofgenes involved in inflammation and hematopoietic differentiation (Huanget al, Mol. Cell. Biol. 2009 29:1375-1387; Lamonica Proc. Nat. Acad.Sci. 2011 108:E159-168).

A recurrent translocation involving NUT (nuclear protein in testes) withBRD3 or BRD4 to form a novel fusion oncogene, BRD-NUT, is found in ahighly malignant form of epithelial neoplasia (French et al, CancerResearch 2003 63:304-307; French et al, Journal of Clinical Oncology2004 22:4135-4139). Selective ablation of this oncogene restores normalcellular differentiation and reverses the tumorigenic phenotype(Filippakopoulos et al, Nature 2010 468:1068-1073). Genetic knockdown ofBRD2, BRD3 and BRD4 has been shown to impair the growth and viability ofa wide range of hematological and solid tumor cells (Zuber et al, Nature2011 478:524-528; Delmore et al, Cell 2011 146:904-917). Aside from arole in cancer, BET proteins regulate inflammatory responses tobacterial challenge, and a BRD2 hypomorph mouse model showeddramatically lower levels of inflammatory cytokines and protection fromobesity induced diabetes (Wang et al Biochem J. 2009 425:71-83; Belkinaet al. J. Immunol 2013). In addition, some viruses make use of these BETproteins to tether their genomes to the host cell chromatin, as part ofthe process of viral replication or use BET proteins to facilitate viralgene transcription and repression (You et al, Cell 2004 117:349-60; Zhuet al, Cell Reports 2012 2:807-816).

Inhibitors of BET proteins are in current development. Exemplary BETprotein inhibitors are disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. App. Pub.Nos. 2014/0275030; 2015/0011540; 2015/0148375; 2015/0148342;2015/0148372; 2015/0175604; and 2016/007572.

As used herein, the phrase “solid form” refers to a compound providedherein in either an amorphous state or a crystalline state (“crystallineform” or “crystalline solid” or “crystalline solid form”), whereby acompound provided herein in a crystalline state may optionally includesolvent or water within the crystalline lattice, for example, to form asolvated or hydrated crystalline form. The term “hydrated,” as usedherein, is meant to refer to a crystalline form that includes watermolecules in the crystalline lattice. Example “hydrated” crystallineforms include hemihydrates, monohydrates, dihydrates, and the like.Other hydrated forms such as channel hydrates and the like are alsoincluded within the meaning of the term.

The different crystalline forms of the compound provide herein (e.g.,Compound 1) are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD),differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and/or thermogravimetricanalysis (TGA). An X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern ofreflections (peaks) is typically considered a fingerprint of aparticular crystalline form. It is well known that the relativeintensities of the XRPD peaks can widely vary depending on, inter alia,the sample preparation technique, crystal size distribution, variousfilters used, the sample mounting procedure, and the particularinstrument employed. In some instances, new peaks may be observed orexisting peaks may disappear depending on the type of instrument or thesettings (for example, whether a Ni filter is used or not). As usedherein, the term “peak” or “characteristic peak” refers to a reflectionhaving a relative height/intensity of at least about 3% of the maximumpeak height/intensity. Moreover, instrument variation and other factorscan affect the 2-theta values. Thus, peak assignments, such as thosereported herein, can vary by plus or minus about 0.2° (2-theta), and theterm “substantially” or “about” as used in the context of XRPD herein ismeant to refer to the above-mentioned variations.

In the same way, temperature readings in connection with DSC, TGA, orother thermal experiments can vary about ±3° C. depending on theinstrument, particular settings, sample preparation, etc. Accordingly, acrystalline form reported herein having a DSC thermogram “substantially”as shown in any of the Figures is understood to accommodate suchvariation.

The term “crystalline form” is meant to refer to a certain latticeconfiguration of a crystalline substance. Different crystalline forms ofthe same substance typically have different crystalline lattices (e.g.,unit cells), typically have different physical properties attributed totheir different crystalline lattices, and in some instances, havedifferent water or solvent content. The different crystalline latticescan be identified by solid state characterization methods such as byX-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). Other characterization methods such asdifferential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), dynamic vapor sorption (DVS), and the like further help identifythe crystalline form as well as help determine stability andsolvent/water content.

Different crystalline forms of a particular substance, such as Compound1, can include both anhydrous forms of that substance andsolvated/hydrated forms of that substance, where each of the anhydrousforms and solvated/hydrated forms are distinguished from each other bydifferent XRPD patterns, or other solid state characterization methods,thereby signifying different crystalline lattices. In some instances, asingle crystalline form (e.g., identified by a unique XRPD pattern) canhave variable water or solvent content, where the lattice remainssubstantially unchanged (as does the XRPD pattern) despite thecompositional variation with respect to water and/or solvent.

In some embodiments, the compounds (or hydrates and solvates thereof) ofthe application are prepared in batches referred to as batches, samples,or preparations. The batches, samples, or preparations can include thecompounds provided herein in any of the crystalline or non-crystallineforms described herein, including hydrated and non-hydrated forms, andmixtures thereof.

The compounds disclosed herein can include all isotopes of atomsoccurring within them. Isotopes include those atoms having the sameatomic number but different mass numbers. For example, isotopes ofhydrogen include tritium and deuterium.

In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein (e.g., Compound 1),or salts thereof, or crystalline forms thereof, are substantiallyisolated. The term “substantially isolated” is meant that the compoundor salt is at least partially or substantially separated from theenvironment in which it was formed or detected. Partial separation caninclude, e.g., a composition enriched in the compound, salts, orcrystalline forms provided herein. Substantial separation can includecompositions containing at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at leastabout 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%,at least about 97%, or at least about 99% by weight of the compounds,salts, or crystalline forms provided herein.

The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is employed herein to refer tothose compounds, materials, compositions and/or dosage forms which are,within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contactwith the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity,irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication,commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.

Formulation, Dosage Forms and Administration

When employed as pharmaceuticals, Compound 1 (e.g., a solid form ofCompound 1 such as a crystalline solid form) can be administered aspharmaceutical compositions. These compositions can be prepared in amanner well known in the pharmaceutical art, and can be administered bya variety of routes, depending upon whether local or systemic treatmentis desired and upon the area to be treated.

Administration may be topical (including transdermal, epidermal,ophthalmic and to mucous membranes including intranasal, vaginal andrectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation ofpowders or aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal orintranasal), oral or parenteral. Parenteral administration includesintravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal intramuscularor injection or infusion; or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal orintraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be inthe form of a single bolus dose, or may be, for example, by a continuousperfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topicaladministration may include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions,creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids and powders.Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases,thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable.

This application also includes pharmaceutical compositions whichcontain, as the active ingredient, Compound 1 or a pharmaceuticallyacceptable salt thereof, in combination with one or morepharmaceutically acceptable carriers (excipients). In some embodiments,the composition is suitable for topical administration. In making thecompositions of described herein, the active ingredient is typicallymixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within sucha carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet, paper, orother container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be asolid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrieror medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be inthe form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets,elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solidor in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% byweight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules,suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packagedpowders.

In preparing a formulation, Compound 1 can be milled to provide theappropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients.If Compound 1 is substantially insoluble, it can be milled to a particlesize of less than 200 mesh. If Compound 1 is substantially watersoluble, the particle size can be adjusted by milling to provide asubstantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g., about 40mesh.

Compound 1 may be milled using known milling procedures such as wetmilling to obtain a particle size appropriate for tablet formation andfor other formulation types. Finely divided (nanoparticulate)preparations of Compound 1 can be prepared by processes known in theart, e.g., see International App. No. WO 2002/000196.

Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose,sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates,tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose,polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. Theformulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc,magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying andsuspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- andpropylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. Thecompositions provided herein can be formulated so as to provide quick,sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient afteradministration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art.

The compositions can be formulated in a unit dosage form containing adesired amount of the active ingredient. The term “unit dosage forms”refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages forhuman subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predeterminedquantity of active material calculated to produce the desiredtherapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceuticalexcipient.

The active compound may be effective over a wide dosage range and isgenerally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. It willbe understood, however, that the amount of the compound actuallyadministered will usually be determined by a physician, according to therelevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, thechosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, theage, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of thepatient's symptoms, and the like.

For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal activeingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solidpreformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of acompound of provided herein. When referring to these preformulationcompositions as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typicallydispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition canbe readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such astablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation is thensubdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above.

The tablets or pills described herein can be coated or otherwisecompounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolongedaction. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage andan outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelopeover the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layerwhich serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit theinner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed inrelease. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers orcoatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids andmixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetylalcohol, and cellulose acetate.

The liquid forms in which the Compound 1 and compositions providedherein can be incorporated for administration orally or by injectioninclude aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oilsuspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseedoil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs andsimilar pharmaceutical vehicles.

Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions andsuspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents,or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions maycontain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as describedsupra. In some embodiments, the compositions are administered by theoral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect.Compositions can be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutionsmay be breathed directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizingdevice can be attached to a face masks tent, or intermittent positivepressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositionscan be administered orally or nasally from devices which deliver theformulation in an appropriate manner.

Topical formulations can contain one or more conventional carriers. Insome embodiments, ointments can contain water and one or morehydrophobic carriers selected from, for example, liquid paraffin,polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, propylene glycol, white vaseline, and thelike. Carrier compositions of creams can be based on water incombination with glycerol and one or more other components, e.g.,glycerinemonostearate, PEG-glycerinemonostearate and cetylstearylalcohol. Gels can be formulated using isopropyl alcohol and water,suitably in combination with other components such as, for example,glycerol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and the like. The topical formulationscan be suitably packaged in tubes of, for example, 100 g which areoptionally associated with instructions for the treatment of the selectindication, e.g., psoriasis or other skin condition.

The amount of compound or composition administered to a patient willvary depending upon what is being administered, the purpose of theadministration, such as prophylaxis or therapy, the state of thepatient, the manner of administration, and the like. In therapeuticapplications, compositions can be administered to a patient alreadysuffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at leastpartially arrest the symptoms of the disease and its complications.Effective doses will depend on the disease condition being treated aswell as by the judgment of the attending clinician depending uponfactors such as the severity of the disease, the age, weight and generalcondition of the patient, and the like.

The compositions administered to a patient can be in the form ofpharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions can besterilized by conventional sterilization techniques, or may be sterilefiltered. Aqueous solutions can be packaged for use as is, orlyophilized, the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterileaqueous carrier prior to administration. The pH of the compoundpreparations typically will be between 3 and 11, more preferably from 5to 9 and most preferably from 7 to 8. It will be understood that use ofcertain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or stabilizers willresult in the formation of pharmaceutical salts.
